Leave it at Stock until we get more results or can resolve the issue but continue to experiment on occasion.
Put the 5600 back in and use the Kentsfield for quad work.
Better cooling is always a good thing of course. Get a TRUE or so, very easy to install as well.

For your 2nd option, doing the same here with a little testing now and then. But Im mainly waiting for SB750. If it turns out my chip is still crap anyway Ill order a new chip as well. I guess in one or even two months steppings etc are already quite a bit better.

Option 3, could do. But might as well keep your Phenom in and still use your Kentsfield for the quadwork.

Im looking to watercool my stuff though. I know it's crap for maintenance, but well. Ill buy most waterblocks from the same manufacturer to decrease the chance that materials are going to react with each other. Also getting a Danger Den fillport to be able to quickly add some coolant as maintenance part. And the refilling, well, so be it lol.
